These are not a typical chocolate cookie! They're made from a delicious chocolate batter, but cooked in a waffle maker so they achieve a criss-cross pattern. When finished, they're dipped in chocolate and topped with any number of decorations!
In a large bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
Sift in the flour, cocoa, and salt. Mix until no dry streaks remain.
Grease the preheated waffle iron and spoon in heaping teaspoons of batter. Depending on the size of the waffle iron, 2-4 can be made at a time. Let bake until crispy on the edge but soft in the center, 2-5 minutes depending on the waffle maker. It could take a few tries to figure out the baking time.
Remove cookies and continue greasing and baking. While baking, make the chocolate topping.
For the chocolate topping
In a medium bowl combine the chocolate and coconut oil. Using 50% power, melt in the microwave in 30-second increments. Stir and repeat until melted, 2 minutes.
Dip cooled cookies upside down in the melted chocolate. Top with colored sugars, dragees, or only chocolate.
